Put the ribs in a pan, cover with cold water, bring to the boil and then gently simmer for 25 minutes, skimming off any fat that slowly rises to the surface. Drain. Transfer to a roasting tin. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Mix together the sweet chilli sauce, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, oil and crushed chillies, if using. Pour over the ribs and toss so they are well coated, distributing them evenly in the tin. Cook for 30 minutes, turning the ribs over in the tin and basting every 10 minutes during cooking.

Show more commentsI made these this weekend, but instead of boiling I just placed them in a roasting pan, added half the sauce covered in foil and cooked at 185 Celsius fan for just under and hour, I then took the foil off, poured the rest of the sauce on and continued roasting and basting as instructed and came out amazingly.
I have used this recipe a couple of times now, but I never add the oil, and it is not missed at all. Works really well with chicken thighs and drumsticks. Winner with kids. I do personally roast a little longer - Great recipe.
I just made this recipe for lunch today, and it was fabulous! So stress-free and yet so rewarding. I did make some adaptation to use what was in my larder (maple syrup in place of honey, and barbecue sauce in place of ketchup), but I feel this new version respected the spirit of the original one.
Just beautiful. Easy to make no fuss. Looking forward to trying another recipe.
